Jackson Gregory, the son of Peri and David Cordes, of Sand Lake, grew these sunflowers, measuring 11 feet 6 inches from seeds started last June, when he was in Mrs. Moline’s first grade class at McNaughton Elementary. Jackson’s mom said that once the flowers die off, Jackson puts the flower heads on the back fence so that the birds can eat the seeds. Great thinking, Jackson!
